Upgrade SBO-COMMOM SQL - unable to connect to database

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to upgarde from SAP 2007 A PL-42 to PL-49.
I have currently got SQL2000 (for legend system) running under the instance name SERVER and i have installed SQL2005 (SAP uses this) with the instance name SERVER\SQL2005, both running on the same machine called SERVER.
When i try to upgrade the SBO-COMMON database, it installs the DI and reaches a point where it asks for:-
Database Server:-              (I input SERVER\SQL2005)
Database Name:-              (SBO-COMMON)
User Name:-                     (sa)
Password:-                      (password)
When i click the NEXT button, i get the error "unable to connect to database; verify that database TCP/IP port serice is started."
I have verified that the TCP/IP ie enabled,and running on port 1433.
Addidtional Information:
During installation, it tries to access c:\windows\system32\sqljdbc_auth.dll file, when i click the NEXT button, just before i get the TCP/IP error.
Would highly appreciate the help.

Asif

Installing SBO 2007 Error Unable to connect to database

Trying to install SBO 2007.
First install server tools, then sever.
The SBO -Common database exists as per checking the SQl database.
The install asked for the database server, database name, user name and password in which I enter this correctly.
A message states:
WARNING
'Unable to connect to database;verify database server name and that database is started'.
I am unable to proceed further. Can any on assit please.
Have also tried un installing SBO 2007, deleting databases and rebooting - without success.

Dear Lisa,
You will get this issue when you are using named/non-default instance of MS SQL Server during the installation progress
of SAP Business One Integration Platform.
The B1iP installation program uses default port (1433) to connect MS SQL
Server and to create database. The named instance will use the port
other than 1433.
1. Before the installation of B1iP, change the port of the named
    instance to 1433, which will be used to install B1iP.
2. If 1433 is being used by another application, and cannot be changed,
    the steps below is one walk-around way:
    a) Stop the instance of MS SQL Server, which is using the port 1433
    b) Change the named instance, which will be used to install B1iP, to
       1433 temporary, and remember the port to recover
    c) Install B1iP (or SAP Business One with B1iP component)
    d) After installation, stop the B1i service. Under B1i folder, in
       the Xcellerator.cfg, change 1433 to the port that B1iP DB
       instance used.
    e) Change back the ports of SQL Server.
    f) Run the service of SQL Server and B1i again.

Unable to connect to database; verify that database TCP/IP port service is

Hi i have a problem with a few servers when i'm trying to upgrade from SAP 2007 SP00 PL47 to SAP 2007 SP1 PL06, i run the upgrade for SBO-COMMON and gives me the message Unable to connect to database; verify that database TCP/IP port service is started, and i don't know why, i hope you can help me.
Julieta

Hi,
Ensure that the connection to the database is configured properly.
1. Check that the TCP/IP port is not being blocked by a Firewall.
2. Set the Server's Remote Connection to accept TCP/IP connections.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Surface Area Configuration -> Server Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections -> MSSQLSERVER -> Database Engine -> Remote Connections
Restart the 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)', and run the upgrade again.
Hope this will resolve your issue !

Unable to connect to Database, Verify that database TCP/IP service is start

Hi All,
During the installation of SERVER (2007 B), the next installation wizard is "Integration Platform". It requires the conncetion with SBO-COMMON. But this is giving me the Error Message - "Unable to connect to Database, Verify that database TCP/IP service is started. What is this means ? I have checked TCP/IP is enabled on my system.

Anuj,
You need to verify that you have TCP/IP in the SQL Server Client settings set to "enabled".

I am using the sa account for CF to access the db's. But i
get the following error:

Unable to connect to database which uses custom NLS charset

Hello,
I have custom character set installed on my database. I'm trying to connect to DB using OCI driver. On the client machine (Linux), I have Oracle 10g Release 2 installed. Custom character set is installed on the client side too and SQL*Plus connection works fine. Both NLS_LANG and ORA_NLS10 environment variables are set correctly.
When I'm trying to connect via JDBC, I'm getting the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: Character Set Not Supported !!
 at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)

 at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:171)
and so on...
The same code works fine on my computer (I have 9i client here). As I have read from various sources across the internet, Oracle 10g JDBC driver uses own character set conversation methods, encoded in orai18n.jar, it does not pay attention to NLS_LANG, etc.
So, my question is: do I need to create own character set for JDBC? And if so, is there a chance to generate it from existing .nlt files or I need to build them from scratch?

Sorry, I think it will be better if I move this post to "Globalization Support" forum : Unable to connect to database which uses custom NLS charset

ThanksIn addition to the other comments (don't shut down the db yourself, just tell rman to do a cold backup and let rman handle the details) let me point out that trying to do any db related stuff as root is asking for all kinds of trouble. In fact, it is a general principle that root should never be used for anything that doesn't absolutely require root access. And orcle backups don't absolutely require root access.
Bottom line is ... you must want to take this backup in the worst way possible, because that's exactly how you are going about it -- in the worst way possible. You really should spend some more time reading up on rman backups and revamp your entire approach to this problem.

Unable to Connect to Database (after server has been re-started)

Hi, I use Essbase Admin Services 7.1.3 and the server was not responding, therefore our IT guys re-started it. Since then I am unable to connect to one of the applications. I have tried to start/Stop the application but it just says "Application did not start". There are 6 databases in this application altogether (3 data and 2 Currency). The application has been there for about 3 years (it holds historic sales data) and there has never been any problems with it. When I tried to Start the application, in the message panel at the bottom it says "Error: 1013015 Unable to Connect to Database (2003)". It's as if there is a problem with this 2003 database but the 2002 and 2004 database are OK. Has anyone ever had this problem and knows how to rectify it?? Thanks in advance. Sarah

It may be that the server restart corrupted the database. Go into database properties and uncheck the box start database with application and then try to restart the application. You can try database validation, or simply reload the database from backup. But you can get the application up and the rest of the databases up by decoupling the database restart from the application start. There will be a .xcp log file in your application directory (and possibly your database directory.) These might help Hyperion Support in identifying the cause of the problem. But the quickest solution would be to reload the database from backup. The serer and application logs can also provide help in identifying the problem. One of the keys is to determine why the server is not responding before restarting the server. It may be that a single application is the source of problem. Typical causes are unscheduled free space restructures, application loads of large databases, and an occasional rogue process. Rather than rebooting the entire box, or even restarting the Essbase server, the safest approach is to only kill the job that is soaking up the cpu cycles, causing the server to be unresponsive. This requires identifying the offending process (esssvr.exe) and killingit. Often that restores the rest of the system to operations, giving you time to focus onthe offending application. You learn thses things when you are pushing the server to its limits (or beyond). If it happens often, you need to do a serious performance audit of teh server and determine whether you need more power and/or memory. And in any case, you are less likely to encounter this sort of problem in the future if you try to limit applications to a single database. This will allow a better utilization of system resources. And also, it's a good idea to shut down applications that you are not going to be using for a while. Every loaded app takes system resources whether or not it is doing anything. So review your list of apps that start on startup and consider unloading apps after completing batch processing. Sorry about the long lecture, but I speak from somewhat painful experience. I hope that this will help you.

Unable to connect to database in ofline mode

Hi ,
i have server OBIEE server installed in Linux and client installed on windows7
the issue is
when i log in to admin tool on client it opens and show all tables but..
..... when i right click a table and click on view data .. it through an error 'UNABLE TO CONNECT TO DATABASE"
I HAD CHECKED THE TNS NAME S EVERY THING IS FINE
can any help in this regard

Hi,
which DB are you using? if u r using Oracle DB refer the below steps and make sure u r end
There are 3 options to work around this
1. Copy your tnsnames.ora to {Oracle_BI1}\network\admin directory & {oracle_common}\network\admin directory (only the former is needed as that is the ORACLE_HOME)
2. Or instead of tnsnames.ora source entry, use the full expanded tnsnames as shown below
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 172.16.66.173)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)))
3) easy to connect u r DB
To configure OCI, you have to provide in the connection pool of the physical layer three parameters:
the call interface. You must choose OCI.
The data source name
The user name and password
In the data source name, you have to enter a connect identifier that can be one of the following naming methods.
//database_host[:port]/service_name

MDM 71 - mdm console and clix - unable to connect to database server

Hi,
environment, MDM 7.1, AIX 6, Oracle 10.2.0.4 (installed as part of a standalone java AS)
i've an issue. I have installed MDM 71 via sapinst, before that I installed a standalone java application server. During the installation, i gave the 'oracle client', 'oracle home' and 'oracle sqlplus utility' to be those of the oracle database installed for the java AS.
After sapinst completed I tested my connection to the database via
tnsping <SID> = OK
sqlplus system/passwd@<SID> = OK
When i start up the mdm console (7.1.02.90) i can mount the MDM server, BUT when I try to configure the database settings i get
error 'unable to connect to database server'
I get the same error when i use clix dblist
Error: 0x84020004, Unable to connect with Database Server
Has anybody got any ideas.

To see why the MDM is not able to connect to database, do the following:
% cd /usr/sap/<SID>/MDSxx/log
% ls -ltr
You will find last updated log file with name like MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
% tail -100 MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
You will see the reason for not being able to connect. If the reason is:
",MDSAdminServerXGetAvailableReps,Oracle_DBConnection.cpp,205,,,,server_user,server_global,,,
2011-09-23T06:10:48.933,6 ,24,"Service 'SID', Schema 'system', ERROR CODE=12154 ||| ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
OCI Attach, try again ...
Then edit the /oracle/SID/112_64/network/admin/tnsnames.ora with entry like following:

 (ADDRESS =
 (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)
 (PROTOCOL = TCP)
 (HOST = hostname)
 (PORT = PORT_NO)
 (CONNECT_DATA =

 (GLOBAL_NAME = SID.WORLD)
then issue:

If result is like

Error Message: Unable to connect to Database Contact IT Dept.

Hi Everyone, there is a problem in login.
The software is working fine from long time,
Today all of a sudden while I logged into the software [which was created using oracle/reports 6i] (Version - Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production)],
I got the error saying Unable to connect to Database Contact IT Dept.
The same software is working fine in all the systems.
In only 1 system, that error message is displayed.
Thank You.

From this message, it is understood that your database connectivity credentials is not correct.
What makes you think that ? Do you know the Oracle error that caused the message ? (which is evidently generated by the application)
Recently did you changed any password - which may be hardcoded on form.
On one client only ?
